If Liz Truss is serious, she must act immediately on taking office

 

Massed Rejoiner rally to march on Parliament

With less than a week to go before the election of our new Prime Minister, the challenges facing the new incumbent could not be greater.

On 10 September a massed Rejoiner rally marches on Parliament. Their aim is to take the UK back into the EU. They may be a minority, but they are a highly vocal one. The Government must rebut their unsubstantiated and wildly inaccurate claims robustly.

 

We set out a ‘Brexit Manifesto’ (below) – a policy prospectus for delivering on the promises made in the 2016 Referendum.

 

Delivering on Brexit:

 

A manifesto for our future

  1. Immediate withdrawal from ECHR and offer to re-draft its terms of reference
  2. Immediate withdrawal from UN’s Convention on Refugees and offer to re-draft it, fit for the 2020’s
  3. Remove the ECJ’s right to rule over UK laws, failing which to withdraw completely from the Withdrawal Agreement
  4. Bring Northern Ireland back into the UK by invoking Article 16 and insisting on a new agreement
  5. Re-write the Withdrawal Agreement’s article on fisheries and insist it be changed within 90 days
  6. Insist the EU Commission starts treating the UK as a friendly neighbour and stops the hostility
  7. Remove EU laws and gold-plated regulations by 20% per year – particularly for the financial sector
  8. Set some urgent deadlines on when freeports will be delivered
  9. Fire the Heads of Communications of all Departments who have consistently failed to communicate Brexit to the world

 

Other Issues:

  • Put the ‘Net Zero’ policy on hold
  • Implement a ‘UK energy self-sufficiency’ policy
  • Reverse the National Insurance increase
  • Reverse the Corporation Tax increase to encourage inward investment
  • Remove VAT from energy bills to assist with the cost of living crisis
  • Abolish one-third of all Quangos by 2025
  • Give universities a maximum quota of 15% of overseas students
  • Undertake a thorough review of journalism colleges and impose a curriculum
  • Insist all civil servants return to the office – factory workers can’t ‘work from home’
  • Promote the Union and debunk ‘Sturgeonomics’
  • Set some urgent deadlines on when freeports will be delivered
  • None of the OBR’s forecasts have been remotely correct – a total overhaul is needed
  • Reset the Bank of England’s remit – they have been equally poor

Readers suggestions welcome

 

The above are not exhaustive lists by any means. No doubt readers will have further suggestions and we are very happy to consider these. Our Brexit Manifesto list above only contains a few priorities.

OBSERVATIONS

 

Brexit Facts4EU.Org is non-partisan – as is CIBUK.Org – but we would respectfully suggest to No.10 that unless these priorities are dealt with very quickly, the chances of this Government being re-elected do not look good.

Our primary interest is in seeing Brexit deliver all the benefits which were expected by the voters. We are well past the point where words alone will do. Patience out there in the country (i.e. outside Westminster) is exhausted.

Only immediate action might now restore some faith. The opportunity starts on 06 September.
